Bountyhunter,
thanks for the tip. I have tried this approach but ignorance and lack of interest kept them away from gaining valuable knowledge.
Furthermore even though the pouch is covered by clothing I noticed that sometimes it gets under the jumper. Im not in favour of teachers seeing that I carry a knife-tool as this can create tense situations. Even less font of security seeing it - not sure what the rules are <img src="images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Nevertheless thanx for the advice,
